What would you take?

[PatPatterson]

This might have been done before on here, but I was looking at the postings about the best movies from the 60's and it reminded me of this.<br /><br />If you were stranded on a desert island for a year, and could only take:<br /><br />1 Book (other than the bible. You could take it too)<br />1 video tape to watch<br />1 album / CD to listen to<br /><br />What would they be?

I'll probably get poofed here, but the purpose was to suspend disbelief long enough to think of your choice if you only had 1 book, 1 movie, and 1 album to listen to for a year. HYPOTHETICAL question. I'll try to cover scenarios so that the purpose will be clear next time.
